That on the application of the owner Sir Daniel Dixon six new streets on his property situate off Blackstaff Road be named “Fortuna Street”, “Egreria Street” “Daphne Street”, “Pandora Street" “Euterpe Street” and “Thalia Street”; four new streets off Beersbridge Road be named "Flora Street”, “Foxglove Street”, “Heatherbell Street” and “Mayflower Street and two new streets off Woodstock Road be named “Redcar Street” “Mashona Street” and that he be requested to submit another name in lieu of “Killean Street” as there is already a street with an almost similar name in the City. (Town Improvement Committee, 25th October 1893).
In 1882 the name Rostrevor Street was approved for part of a development between Cregagh Road and Castlereagh Road. It is likely that this was replaced by Redcar Street. This is the R in an alphabetical sequence of streets built in the 1880s and 1890s, and apparently the last street in the sequence/development.
